The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.—John 1:14
Incarnation was the miracle that saved us and is the model for our service. We may never be more like Jesus than when we are willing to be present for Him among those who’ve not had the chance to hear the good news. We are most in step with the Lord of the Harvest when we are willing to be—and to assure—the presence of His people among those who still need to hear.
In The Alliance, we value what we’ve come to call incarnational ministry. When peoples of the world today remain without gospel access among them, God wants to send some of His to go to them, be-come like them, and do among them what is need-ed for them to know Jesus and experience His love, mercy, and grace.
Jesus calls each of us to be His presence among those around us. The workers you send and support extend His presence by living and serving among the lost and overlooked in some of the most spiritually desolate areas of the world. And those of us who remain behind extend His presence in our communities, while sustaining our workers’ presence through our faithful prayers and generosity.

In week 2 of our series, called “Great Joy”, Pastor Mike breaks down Zechariah’s Song. What we will see is that Zechariah’s praise to God is relatable for us, because as Christians our hopes and dreams of what this life should be have also been radically changed by Yahweh. All this is possible because Christ came to bring light to a dark and lost world.
During these next four-weeks we will be looking at the Christmas story from the songs sung in the Gospels before, during, and after Jesus’s birth.

In this message, Pastor Mike will be finishing our series on the Alliance's Four Fold Gospel and talking about Christ, Our Coming King, which is symbolized in the image of a crown.

We continue in our Series on the Fourfold Gospel and today we will hear about Christ Our Healer!
Many have accepted Jesus as Savior and are immediately indwelt by the Holy Spirit, but never experience the Fullness of the Spirit in their lives.. So how do Christ Followers experience the fullness of the Spirit? Today, we are going to talk about how to experience the fullness of the Spirit, and to keep in step with the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-26).
In order to experience the fullness of the Spirit, you must:
Acknowledge your need for him (Mathew 5:3)
Abandon Control and allow the Spirit to take over (Romans 8:6)
Accept the power that Jesus desires to give us (Gal 2:20)
Abide in Jesus (John 15:5)
We often focus on the immediate salvation of someone and usually do not focus on the after moments. Many are often left with "What's next?" questions like: Is there more to life then just asking Jesus to forgive my sins? Why do I continue to sin?
These questions are very important and the Bible speaks much about after the initial salvation.
This week we are going to start a two part series talking about the next fold of the Fourfold Gospel called Christ: Our Sanctifier. We invite you to take a listen to part 1 and come out next week for part 2!

Thank you for checking out our Sunday Podcast! In Today's Episode, Pastor Mike brings the message from 1 Peter 2:4-10)
The Living Stone and a Chosen People 4 As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— 5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house[a] to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For in Scripture it says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion,
a chosen and precious cornerstone,
and the one who trusts in him
will never be put to shame.”[b]
7 Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,
“The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone,”[c]
8 and,
“A stone that causes people to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall.”[d]
They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.
9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
